The human penis is an organ of tremendous importance, yet so often is it misused, either as the subject of erotic fantasy, or as the symbol of a woman’s genitalia. So often has it been used as the symbol of a woman’s desire, or as the target of women’s lust, that some men, particularly those with a perverted idea of their own virility, have felt they could not achieve sexual fulfilment unless they, too, became phallic symbols!
